Ariana Grande turned heads at the Australian premiere of “Wicked,” showcasing a breathtaking ensemble that perfectly embodied the essence of her character, Glinda. Adorned in a stunning Vivienne Westwood ballgown, Grande radiated charm and elegance, reminiscent of Glinda’s iconic style. The bubblegum pink gown featured intricate ruffles and puffed sleeves, drawing inspiration from Billie Burke’s original Glinda gown from the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.”
What truly set her look apart was the remarkable array of custom jewelry by the renowned Lorraine Schwartz, totaling over 100 carats of dazzling diamonds. Grande’s centerpiece accessory was a jaw-dropping 90-carat butterfly choker, exquisitely crafted with a mix of round, flat, and rose-cut diamonds that added an enchanting sparkle to her appearance. Schwartz revealed that the butterfly motif was designed to embody an ethereal quality, enhancing the whimsical nature of Glinda’s character.
In addition to the striking choker, Grande sported matching butterfly earrings and rings, all contributing to the overall fairy-tale aesthetic. The jewelry not only mirrored the starburst embellishments on her gown but also accentuated the celebratory spirit of the evening. “The butterfly was ethereal. We thought it was perfect,” Schwartz shared, highlighting the artistic collaboration behind the pieces.
Co-starring alongside Grande, Cynthia Erivo, who portrays Elphaba, opted for a dramatic contrast in a sculptural black Louis Vuitton gown and Roberto Coin jewelry, showcasing the diversity of style and elegance on the red carpet.
With the first installment of “Wicked” set to hit theaters on November 21, audiences can look forward to more captivating looks inspired by the magical world of Oz. As the buzz surrounding the film grows, Ariana Grande’s glamorous appearance serves as a testament to the fusion of fashion and jewelry, leaving fans and fashion enthusiasts eagerly anticipating what’s next in this enchanting journey.
